Reality is, Robbins wasn't a great player and the Wildcats can now sign a better guard and become a better team, they have a great chance this year to win another championship. Robbins averages 5.4pts, 2.3rbs, 2.1ass.

The wildcats have plenty of positive experience in picking players/imports, there is no reason they can't find a player to fit their system, and to find a player with better averages than Robbins should not prove difficult at all.

Players Assn. have a point trying to get rid of playerpoints - restraint - like CJ Massingale might get the gig , but cain't at 10points.From memory Chuck doesn't wanna change points midseason. Anyways the rule might be gone next season.Needed under old NBL not with BA .

People are saying he had a great career. If Averaging career 4 ppg is great I would love to see what they say to a guy that has a career average of 18 with 4 championships. Sad to see him leave and going to miss his toughness but far from a great NBL career.

Stats aren't everything. Robbins brought toughness, leadership, passion - and above all else was a very intelligent player, knows the system and is also a mentor for the younger guys. Which is incredible since he's only 27.

These are qualities that cant be replaced by how many points he averaged.

Really going to miss Brad Robbins. Hope he comes back to the NBL later on if he gets his spark back, and hopefully with the Wildcats.

Robbins is kind of emblematic of all that is wrong with australian basktball really - he's the kind of big early blooming kid that makes all the junior rep teams - at the expense of a more creative talented kid - then retains precisely the same skill set he had as a 14 year old. He's the sort of kids who might help a junior team to win games as a part of a pressing defense but was NEVER going to be anything other than MEDIOCRE. The sort of junior that appeals to a - well somoene like bevo for instance. (as for the idea that robbo puts bums on seats - well that's more of a reflection of the kind of people who go to wildcats games these days - the kinds of people who love wearing the same colour as everyone else and mindlessly follow instructions from the half-wit courtside announcer - cashed up bogans the lot of them) btw - on the same topic i hear that dockers draftee max duffy - a creative genius by all accounts - was cut from his junior basketball squad.. its a word that gets bandied about a lot these days but truthfully - oz hoops is a BASKETCASE..

The time he threw the ball at Gruber, a tough personal incident had occurred in his life.

I remember when barely anyone thought he'd make the NBL. I think people were in disbelief when Goorjian named him for a Boomers camp. He did pretty well in the NBL considering. Everyone has their role.

I like Robbins but Anon 774 has a point about big early blooming kids that make all the junior rep teams because the coaches see the players as a reflection of themselves. This at the expense of tall awkward, late maturing kids who actually have a future in basketball.
